Siheyuan: A pioneer of morality

Qin Huairu went through a lot of trouble to find a cart, and immediately pulled the cart and rushed to the hospital.

After chasing for a few steps, Jia Zhang was already panting and her face was red.

Her eyes rolled around, and an idea flashed through her mind.

So she hurriedly quickened her pace, caught up with the cart, and sat on it without hesitation. Unexpectedly, the cart stopped moving because of her sudden weight.

The driver looked back at Jia Zhang with displeasure, and said dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong with you? Do we still need to go to the hospital?"

"Go, why not? Hurry up and pull!" Jia Zhang glared and shouted at the driver viciously.

The driver sighed helplessly and responded, "You are too heavy, I can't pull you at all. Why don't you just walk over there by yourselves?"

Seeing that Jia Zhang was about to quarrel with the driver, Qin Huairu hurriedly pleaded, "Mom, can you send Banggeng to the hospital first?"

Banggeng was also groaning weakly on the cart at this time, "Grandma, it hurts."

Jia Zhang jumped off the cart cursing, looked at Qin Huairu with a gloomy face and said, "Then you and Banggeng go to the hospital first, I will walk slowly behind."

After the driver and Qin Huairu walked away, Jia Zhang turned around and walked towards the courtyard, muttering to herself, "Such a long way, are you going to tire me to death? I won't walk!"

When Jia Zhang walked to the gate of the courtyard, she happened to meet Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu who had hurried back after hearing the news.

"Mom, where is Banggeng now?" Jia Dongxu asked anxiously as soon as they met.

Jia Zhang replied displeasedly, "Qin Huairu has taken Banggeng to the hospital."

Jia Dongxu looked at Jia Zhang, looking at her with a puzzled look on his face, and asked in confusion, "Then why are you back too?"

Jia Zhang replied indignantly, "Banggeng was injured because of Xu Damao! I have to come back to guard it, ask Xu Damao for an explanation, and let him pay compensation!"

Jia Dongxu scratched his head and looked at Jia Zhang in confusion, "Xu Damao? What does Banggeng's injury have to do with Xu Damao?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai hurriedly interrupted, "Let's go to the hospital to see how Banggeng is doing first! We'll talk about Xu Damao's matter when we get back."

"Yes, yes, yes." Jia Dongxu responded, and then hurriedly ran towards the hospital with Yi Zhonghai.

When the two of them arrived at the hospital panting, Banggeng had already come out of the operating room. Qin Huairu was accompanying him, crying.

Jia Dongxu hurried forward, held Qin Huairu's shoulders, and asked anxiously: "How is Banggeng?"

Qin Huairu raised her tear-stained face and responded with a trembling voice: "The doctor said...Banggeng's tendons were pinched and severed. Although they have been connected, he may still be lame when he walks in the future."

After saying that, she could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears.

"How... is this possible?"

Hearing that Banggeng would end up as a lame man in the future, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu were both stunned, as if they were struck by lightning.

"What exactly is going on? Tell me everything!" Jia Dongxu shook Qin Huairu's shoulders violently, his tone full of anger and confusion.

Qin Huairu burst into tears and explained in a trembling voice: "I really don't know. Early in the morning, my mother asked me to go out to buy food. When I came back after buying food, Banggeng had become like this."

Her tone was full of innocence and helplessness, and she seemed to be very confused about what happened.

At this moment, the doctor walked out of the operating room slowly and said softly to several people: "Family members, please keep quiet and try not to disturb the patient's rest."

The doctor's tone was gentle, but with unquestionable authority. Then, he changed the subject and said: "The operation has been successfully completed. Now please settle the cost of the operation."

Jia Dongxu's heart tightened when he heard this, and he hurriedly asked: "How much is the cost?"

The doctor glanced at him and said lightly: "Twenty-seven and a half yuan."

After that, the doctor turned and left, with a hurried pace, as if there were many things waiting for him to deal with.

Jia Dongxu looked at the doctor's back and felt flustered.

He turned to look at Yi Zhonghai and said pitifully: "Master, I don't have so much money on me, can you..."

Yi Zhonghai looked at him, sighed helplessly, and said: "I'll go downstairs to pay the bill, you stay here with Banggeng."

After that, he turned and walked towards the payment office, leaving Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu there to accompany Banggeng.

In the afternoon, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu returned to the courtyard together, leaving Qin Huairu to take care of Banggeng in the hospital.

Yi Zhonghai justAs soon as he entered the house, he couldn't wait to ask Auntie: "My dear, what happened to Banggeng?" Auntie frowned and answered with a puzzled look on her face: "After the neighbors in the yard went to work, we suddenly heard Banggeng's screams coming from Xu Damao's house, and then I ran over. When we arrived, Banggeng was already lying on the ground, and his body was tightly clamped by three animal traps." "Xu Damao?" Yi Zhonghai whispered to himself, then he frowned and asked with full of doubts: "Why is Banggeng in Xu Damao's house?" Auntie pondered for a moment, and suddenly a picture flashed in her mind. She hurriedly said: "When I entered the door, I noticed that Banggeng was holding a big rooster tightly in his hand. Could it be that he went to Xu Damao's house to steal something and accidentally stepped on the animal trap?" After listening to Auntie's narration, Yi Zhonghai suddenly felt worried. "This is really tricky. Being caught stealing something is the result of Bang Geng's own actions from any angle."

Just as Yi Zhonghai was thinking hard about how to excuse Bang Geng and ask Xu Damao for compensation, Jia Dongxu pushed the door open.

The two of them huddled together and whispered for a long time, and finally came up with a solution.

After discussing the countermeasures, Jia Dongxu was about to get up and leave.

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly caught up with him and whispered in his ear: "You must warn your mother not to let her say anything."

"Master, I remember." Jia Dongxu responded in a low and solemn voice.

After Jia Dongxu left, a lady came to Yi Zhonghai and whispered: "Old Yi, this matter..."

Before the lady finished her words, she was interrupted by Yi Zhonghai.

"Wait until the neighbors in the yard come back in the evening, and hold a meeting to solve this matter." Yi Zhonghai said with a heavy face.
